[[File:Figure 3.1 - AmCAT Navigator 3 Manage Projects.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Figure 3.1 AmCAT Navigator Manage Projects]]

Logging in to AmCAT brings you to the AmCAT home page. You can access and manage your AmCAT projects by clicking on 'Manage Projects'. Here all your AmCAT projects are stored. You can choose to list either your 'Active Projects', your 'Archived Projects' or 'All Projects' by clicking on these tabs (see Figure 3.1). AmCAT displays your active projects by default, listing all the AmCAT projects you are currently working on. This list is empty for a new user, but you can easily create a new AmCAT project.

To create a new AmCAT project you go to the AmCAT home page and click on 'Manage Projects'. In the upper left corner you find the button '+ Create Project'. Clicking on this button directs you to a form where you can create a new project (see Figure 3.2). Enter the name and the description of the project, mark the project either as active or not, and select the role of project guests (i.e. AmCAT users that are not a member of the project). Click 'Save' to save your new AmCAT project. 

After saving your new AmCAT project, you are directed to your new project page. This page looks very similar to the project management page, but rather than your projects, this is the place where your project article sets are stored and listed. Again, this list is empty for a new user, but you can create a new article set (see below). Furthermore, if you are the creator of an AmCAT project, you are also responsible for [[Managing your AmCAT project users]].

== Adding a new AmCAT project article set ==

If you select an AmCAT project you are directed to the project page. This is the place where your project article sets are stored. You can choose to list either your 'Active Sets', your 'Archived Sets' or 'Coding Job Sets' by clicking on these tabs (see Figure 3.3). AmCAT displays your archived sets by default, listing all the AmCAT project article sets you have archived. This list is empty for a new user, but you can easily create a new project article set.

To create a new AmCAT project article set you go to the AmCAT home page and click on 'Manage Projects'. Select the AmCAT project for which you want to create a new article set by clicking on the project name. In the upper left corner you find the button 'Upload Articles'. Clicking on this button directs you to new page with a list with several options for different formats of texts that can be uploaded (see Figure 3.4). Select the format that applies to your AmCAT project (see below), click on the button 'Bestand kiezen' and browse to the relevant file on your computer. After uploading the file, you name your article set, select the encoding and click on the blue 'Upload' button. You are directed to the page where your file is being uploaded into your AmCAT project. After the article set has been successfully uploaded you can start your content analysis.
